Rocks in the middle of the aptly named, Little Beach, Two Peoples Bay (nr Albany, WA). Acted as a nice windbreak today.

Hmmmmm.... tasty. Lunch at Albany Marron Farm.
The Gap (870K)26 December 2006
Not to be confused with The Gap in Sydney... at least the version here in Albany is sort of a Gap (the Sydney version being more of a cliff to be honest).

Rugged coastline by Albany, WA. This is next to The Gap and Natural Bridge formations here.
Natural Bridge (358K)

Old Water Wheel (534K)28 December 2006
This is apparently the most photographed thing in Western Australia! In case you didn't notice, an old wooden water wheel, which long ago stopped turning after it calcified from the lime in the water. Fresh spring water still runs over, but that used to be supplied to the Leeuwin Lighthouse that's just up the road.
Tee Tree Pratiwi (589K)29 December 2006
Pratiwi wonders what I'm taking a picture of? A tee tree grove on the banks of Margaret River of course!
Nice Bees (599K)28 December 2006
Local Aussie bees, busy at their work in caves by Margaret River. As you can see, one could get pretty close to them and not be worried. Unlike the European beasts, they don't sting apparently - although you'd still get a swarm covering you on trying to steal their honey.
Canoe Champs (430K)28 December 2006
Returning from the short canoe cruise down Margaret River there was a small sprint to the finish. To the victors go the spoils... Rob and Pratiwi with a nice bottle of white that was disposed of that evening (at the really very, very good Relish The Experience Restaurant).

Rob and Pratiwi sampling some of the delights of Lawrence Estate.
Lawrence Estate (534K)29 December 2006
